In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of aubergines sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Corn kernels popped with hot air and no oil, a fluffy whole-grain snack that fills a big bowl. It is a cinema and film-night classic, seasoned with salt, spices or a little melted butter.

Cinema popcorn is usually popped in oil and buttered, so it comes out far higher than this air-popped kind.
